FreeWave Technologies has been selected by OG&E for its comprehensive smart grid deployment. As part of this project, OG&E will use FreeWave's FGR2-PE wireless radio solution for the distribution automation component of the smart grid network. FreeWave's solution will provide secure and reliable connectivity for OG&E's electricity distribution system enabling less frequent outages, as well as reducing the duration of the outages.
